Bottom‐up vs. top‐down effects on terrestrial insect herbivores: a meta‐analysis
Primary consumers are under strong selection from resource ('bottom‐up') and consumer
('top‐down') controls, but the relative importance of these selective forces is unknown. We …

Bugs scaring bugs: enemy‐risk effects in biological control systems
Enemy‐risk effects, often referred to as non‐consumptive effects (NCEs), are an important
feature of predator–prey ecology, but their significance has had little impact on the …

Prey perception of predation risk: volatile chemical cues mediate non-consumptive effects of a predator on a herbivorous insect
SL Hermann, JS Thaler - Oecologia, 2014 - Springer
Predators can affect prey in two ways—by reducing their density (consumptive effects) or by
changing their behavior, physiology or other phenotypic traits (non-consumptive effects) …

An herbivore-induced plant volatile reduces parasitoid attraction by changing the smell of caterpillars
Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) can mediate tritrophic interactions by attracting
natural enemies of insect herbivores such as predators and parasitoids. Whether HIPVs can …

Temperature dependence of predation stress and the nutritional ecology of a generalist herbivore
Prey at risk of predation may experience stress and respond physiologically by altering their
metabolic rates. Theory predicts that such physiological changes should alter prey nutrient …

Predator cue-induced plasticity of morphology and behavior in planthoppers facilitate the survival from predation
J Wen, T Ueno - Scientific reports, 2021 - nature.com
Predators can induce phenotypic plasticity in prey through selection driven by predation risk.
However, defense plasticity is rarely reported in insects, let alone trans-generational …
